2 bedroom flat

The Stockbridge Colonies are one of Edinburgh's most beautiful collections of upper and lower villas, superbly situated just a short walk from the cosmopolitan buzz of the heart of Stockbridge. These charming stone properties boast immense character and this particular home is peacefully positioned close to the end of a quiet cobbled lane, on ground level, set back behind a lovely private front garden.

The property offers a wealth of options when it comes to possible layouts. The front room, which overlooks the garden and is extremely well-proportioned, has most recently been used as a large double bedroom with the addition of a wash-hand basin. It would equally make a superb sitting room with wonderful period features which include cornicing, feature fireplace, working shutters and shelved Edinburgh press.

To the rear of the home, there is an open plan kitchen with a living/dining area. It also showcases traditional features such as original timber flooring and fireplace as well as a lovely window seat. The fitted kitchen has an integrated fridge freezer, oven and gas hob. The adjoining room is currently used as a second bedroom with the bonus of a wash-hand basin, but it would also make a perfect home office/study. A wet room off the hall completes the accommodation.

The property has gas central heating and the windows are of a single glazed, sash and case design.

There is a beautiful, private front garden with paved seating area, drying line, large garden shed and bin store. A cellar, accessible from the kitchen/living room, also forms part of the sale and offers excellent storage potential.

Permit and pay and display parking are available.

Location

The property is located in the highly desirable Stockbridge Colonies, a historic area known for its community spirit and 19th-century stone terrace homes, built by the Edinburgh Co-operative Building Company.
